The stereotypical German efficiency was sorely lacking here…
If you were going to trust any team to pull off an elaborate and very clever free-kick routine, then Germany would be close to the top of the list.

As such, Algeria were no doubt worried when they gave away a free-kick in a dangerous area towards the end of the last 16 clash between the sides tonight. There was no need for worry, however, because this happened…
